Despite team White leading at the end of regulation, the squads played a five minute overtime followed by a shootout.Here are some notes from the scrimmage:The lockout had no affect on Pittsburgh's passion of hockey. The Penguins offered fans a free ticket to watch the scrimmage while the game was televised on ROOT Sports. The arena was packed to capacity, with fans lining up two hours before the doors opened at six. Fans seemed deeply engaged in the action on the ice, cheering every goal, leading chants of "Let's go Pens" and "Flyers s*ck." Brandon Sutter is for real. The biggest piece of the Jordan...

"You realize over that period of time that you just want to compete and be with your team and go through all the normal things that an NHL season brings. I'm just excited for that," Crosby said.
"I always thought I appreciated the game; I'd be the first one to say that I don't think I took it for granted. I've always worked hard and realized...

As the NHL teams scramble to shore up their rosters with big free agent acquisitions, trades, and releases of bad contracts, all to compete in a sprint to the playoffs, Alexei Kovalev doesn’t figure to make or break a team for the Stanley Cup, but is a great story nevertheless. Kovalev appears near to signing a 1-year deal with the Florida Panthers to compete in his 19th season...

After one whole day, Evgeni Malkin finally spoke to the press so the Beaver County Times can call off it's goons.
Here is the video via the Pens:
Malkin talked about how great it is to be back in Pittsburgh. Pretty boring interview. Sounds like Guy Junker asked a question that Malkin didn't understand. We didn't hear any whiny babies in the background so...

Healthy Crosby ready to catch fire
The headaches are gone. Finally. So are the doubts, the ones Sidney Crosby couldn't outrun as he rehabilitated from concussion-like symptoms that robbed hockey's best player from two years in the middle of his prime.
It's no fun waking up the morning after a punishing workout and have your mind immediately drift to whether or not you'll end the day in a quiet room...

Poll Results
Forty-seven percent of voters believe Chris Kunitz should skate with Sidney Crosby and Pascal Dupuis. The number had been as high as 53 percent. The drop in the overall percentage is reflected in a jump for the option of using Kunitz on Crosbyâs line sometimes and sometimes on Evgeni Malkinâs. That option moved up from 14 percent...

We got to talking on Twitter with a Hurricanes fan who has closely followed Brandon Sutter's career. We asked her to give us as much information as possible on Sutter, and she has answered the bell. Great read:
Brandon Sutter was meant to be a franchise player in the Carolina Hurricanes organization. Canes General Manager Jim Rutherford once called Sutter one of...

We've got some bigtime news at PSAMP. A local favorite, and I mean "local" in the weirdest sense of the word, has returned to bless the Penguins with a few wishes of his own. You know, I was so close to accepting a lost NHL season that the recent end to the lockout and imminent start to Pens season has me so fired up that I felt I needed to do something big.

A conundrum, if you will...
If the Penguins have one major question mark heading into this season, it’s what the team brings back on the blueline. Kris Letang, Paul Martin and Brooks Oprik were 1-2-3 in terms of minutes per game among Pens defensemen last year and they all return.
